Safe Robbery In Fincastle

LyNcHBuRG, Va, December ia
Fincastle special to the Adcdace says "A
bold robbery was committed here last
night on the county treasurers office The
door of the office was broken down, a
large fire-proof safe was drilled and
blown open, and six hundred dollars of
Botetourl county bonds stolen. The
work was evidently done by professional
thieves. The tools of the burglars were
found half mile from the town. No ar
rests have been made, but the sheriff and
poses are out securing the country"

ibc Removal Bach 10 Richmond TO Begil
TODAY.

Judge II H. Marshall the general
counsel of the Richmond and Danvlle
railroad said yesterday that there was no
question of doubt about the removal of
all the offices of the road back 10 Rich
mond from Washington In fact, said
he, the removal will begin to-day.
Much comment was made when. a year
or more ago, these officers were taken
from Richmond 10 Washington, as the
charter of the road tacitly, if not ex-
pressedly, required that they should be
in the city of Richmond. The charter
was granted by the General Assembly of
Virginia to a corporation, the home Of
flee of which was to be in Richmond, and
that charterin this respect has never been
altered
So il is wise that the present manage.
ment have acted as they have. Every
general Office of the road should Toe in this
city. and the Richmond and Danyille
railroad will, in few days, be once more
a virginia cOrDOratiOn.

A Colored forger

Special Correspondence
ORANGE c. H., December 13.- Charles
c. Taylor, colored preacher and teach
Ct in one Of the public schools at Gordons-
vile, was brought here, few days since,
in charge of an officer, and lodged in Jail
for the crime Of forgery. IL appears that
c. " MOolfOlK, county treasurer, lad
paid him a draft for his services as teach
er, and informed him he had failed to pay
his taxes for the year 1884 Taylor told
the treasurer he had settled the bill for
that year with W. II Ricketts,, his assist
ant, and had the receipt for the am cunt of
the bill at home. The treasurer told him
If he did not produce the receipt at the
next settlement, he would deduct the
sum from the school draft thereafter due
him When pay day come around again
the Reverend gentleman handed the treas
urer his school draft, and at the same time
produced the pretended receipt signed by
Mr. Ricketts, Mr. Voolfolk, not making
a careful examination of the bogus paper
and thinking that he had really paid the
delinquent tax bill ~ his assistant, cash
ed his school draft in full. The attention
of Mr.. Ricketts, was called TO the matter
afterwards, and he affirmed that the
paper was not his receipt and that the
accused had not settled with him for the
year 1884, the taxes due from him. Tay-
lor gave bail for his appearance before a
special grahd jury. which will convene
al the next January term of the County
Court \.

Morning in Mexico City

An early morning sart brings US
first 10 the flower market. Whole fam
lies seated about are busily engaged III
arranging flowers OF rare beauty ami
fragrance. The flower girls. with their
olive compilations and brilliant eyes of
let, their white teeth, beautiful hair in
long braids carelesSly swung over well
rounded shoulders, with skirts gath
cred short to the uncors5ted waist,
nimbly ply their delicate fingers 50
rapidly that they weave bouquets as
it were by magic, the roses. the lilies
and the forget me-nots dropping into
their places and forming garlands and
wreaths of endless variety. Then to
the market square, near the palace,
where a jabbering throng OF lazy mea
and loosely dressed women, with ro-
bust voices, implore you 10 purchase
almost every article of household ne
cessity, including fruits and vegetables.
Water carriers, with their earthen
lars slung over their heads, are passing
to and fro, delivering the morning
supply of water from house to house.
The little burro, that tiny quadrupe1
so necessary to Mexicans, hardly yet
awake, is pushed along by his master.
The little fellows, in groups of dozen
or more, are loaded down with every
thing from a chicken to a stove. The
slightest laxity on the part of his mas
ter and he stops short to nibble at the
nearest thing at hand, be 1t an old shoe
! or a TN can. The question was once
asked, s'Can a burro driver be Chris
| tian?" the answer being, ''He might II
/ he tried very hard, but he would have
| to give up driving burros."

knows. Is highly Titnalistie, and has
three altars), the bride being attired IN
her travelling dress-a bonnet and a
large waterproof cloak
Mr.. Brandt was ANNOYED that an
other wedding should have been fixed
Tor the same morning; however, lie
thought, there is time for them to be
cut or the way before we begin 1t
was i've minutes TO the appointed time,
and as yet there was no sign of the
bride. The minutes passed; the mod est
little bridal party IN the corner dis
appeared into the vestry. the half-hour
chimes were struck on the clock in the
tower overhead, and yet the bride did
not come.
Mr. Brandt grew impatient, and so
did the crowd of well-dressed people IN
the pews.
Suddenly the vestry door opened and
the newly married pair came out; but
instead of leaving by the side aisle they
came round to go down the centre
aisle of the church. They had nearly
reached the chancel when the lady
slipped off her bonnet and cloak.
1t was she, Kate Thompson, his
beautiful bride, in that very satin
dress and lace veil, married to another
toto his former clerk, Fred Win
ter!
it was too much, He sprang toward
the girl, but in an instant her husband
was between them.
As Brandt stood there, dumb with
rage, and mad with disappointment,
Kate pointed her hand at him, and her
voice rang out clear in the silent
church
You wilfully ruined my father, and
brought us to poverty that you might
be able to subdue me to your wishes.
This is my revenge"
So saying she swept down the aisle
on her husbands arm, and disappeared
from Mr.. Brandt's sight for ever.
That night parcel was delivered at
his great empty house, containing the
wedding fiuery, and the few presents
which the German had bestowed upon
his faithless bride.
The fact was that by dInt of patient
inquiries made In the proper quarters,
Fred Winter had learned all about the
treacherOus conduct OF the German,
and, as he and Kate had become prl-
vately engaged shortly after the ban
| ker's first unsuccessful proposal, he
/ naturally told her what he had found
out Having obtained a good situation
at Manchester, the young man pressed
/ Kate TO fulfill her promise. He knew
nothing about the trick which she
meant to play upon Brandt. He sup
| posed II was merely Il girliSh whm
when she insisted upon being married
at st. Bridget's Church, and made her
| lover arrange that the hour should be
! eleven O'Clock, just half an hour before
the time fixed for Air. Brandt's wed
| ding.
